Yes, absolutely. You have been told that would hear back from on a certain day, and they have violated common business courtesy by not doing so. Contact him and remind him in a polite manner.
Good luck, hope you get the job.

Always send a follow-up letter after an interview if you are interested in the position. I would call HR Monday or Tuesday since you were supposed to hear back on Friday.

Yes, call them and check. It is great that you were able to find out when you were to be contacted, and it is perfectly acceptable to call and ask--politely--about the delay.
One thing that I think is very important: Never stop and wait for an employer to get back to you. Keep the job search going until you accept a job. In 2006, it is no longer considered rude for an employer to ignore the applicants who are rejected. Years ago, an honorable employer would never consider such behavior.
Even if you do not get this job, remember it is a numbers game, and the most qualified candidates must have several leads to ensure success.
Good luck!

If you don't hear by noon, call and speak with HR and tell them that you are inquiring about the open position. You would like to know if it has been filled. General rule is that employers don't call or notify you unless you are who they choose. Good Luck, I'm looking too. Not much out there in Illinois.

Yes when you contact them it shows that you want to work at thier place of employment. I went back to my current nite job 3 times and the 3rd time the manager was like I'm going to bring you one. Your showing me that you want to be hear. Never call them before they've stated they will contact you but if they don't make thier deadline you have a right to be like Hey man I'm trying to eat too, I'm playing there but your not wrong your just showing that you want a job there.

I think that if u truly think that the forgot...U should call...Also u might look in to some other jobs just as a "Plan B". If u decide not to call bac...Dont wait at the phone...If they r really going to hire u they will have no trouble leaving a message.
Hope you get the job u really want!

It's not a bad idea to make a follow-up phone call. I hope you sent a note thanking them for interviewing you after the fact. Although, if you didn't, this is your opportunity to tell them how much you appreciate it and show that you're still interested. Ask if there's anything else they need you to do. Don't just call them and say, "Did I get it?"

Absolutely call. Better yet if you have the e-mail address send a nice note about your previous interviews, thanking them for their time and little tidbit about the company (do your homework) and then ask if you are still in consideration for the position. Always send a thank you note to the interviewers. It keeps your name up front and in the running. Good luck!

Yes - sometimes these people get backlogged and forget to call. Some HR people are simply aloof and never call anyone back. Take the initiative and call back. Call again if they don't return the call within 24 hours.

I would definitely call HR. It shows interest in the job and a go-getter attitude. Good luck!
